GROWING OLD by KARLE WILSON BAKER

First Line: LET ME GROW LOVELY, GROWING OLD
Last Line: GROW LOVELY, GROWING OLD?
Subject(s): AGING;

LET ME GROW lovely, growing old --
So many fine things do;
Laces, and ivory, and gold,
And silks need not be new;

And there is healing in old trees,
Old streets a glamour hold;
Why may not I, as well as these,
Grow lovely, growing old?
